Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of low frequency pulsed Magnetic field therapy (LFPMF) on blood flow (microcirculation) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Twenty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with onset of the disease ranged from 2 to I 0 years participated in the study. Their age ranged from 45 to 47 years old. They were assigned randomly into 2 groups equal in number .Magnet on group (n=lO) received low frequency magnetic field with a frequency of 15 Hz, intensity of 20G for 20 minutes duration, three sessions per week for successive 12 weeks, in addition to oral hypoglycemic drugs, whereas magnet off group (n=I 0) received oral hypoglycemic drugs.
Each patient of the two groups evaluated before and after treatment and the collected data statistically analyzed using paired and unpaired-t-test.
The results of this study revealed a non significant improvement regarding to blood perfusion (microcirculation), of patients in magnet on group compared with magnet off group.
